I had to return this book
I am a College-level fashion design instructor and purchased this book hoping to help my students reign down the complexities of pattern fitting. Unfortunately, this book lists no foundational principles, no step-by-step approach, and no decent table of content, let alone decent illustrations. It's a dense, poorly laid-out catalogue of 'real people with real pattern fitting issues' pictures, but doesn't expose the real analysis that went through or the pattern manipulation that it required. I rarely return books, but I couldn't hold onto this one: it was nearly making me unlearn what I know. Seriously muddles everything and turns fitting into a series of exceptions rather than a logical process. Stick to the fitting section contained in serious textbooks like Cabrera's.
